Status: offline 		Congratulations to me - I have not had a cigarette in 13 3/4 days. I am not saying the "Q" word just yet, but the possibility is looking very good.

I walked past someone smoking today and I was heavenly - however - I do not buy cigs.

Maybe I'm really on the wagon.

You are all welcome to congratulate me to - I'd appreciate it. I haven't said anything at home because if I start again, I'll never hear the end of it.

So far, so good.

Wonderful newflowers.

Listen, as someone who quit half a lifetime ago (am now 52) I can tell you this: experts say you need 21 days - three weeks - to kick the physical addiction to nicotine (of course YMMV, but that's the magic number and it was true for me).

Make ONE rule, and you'll be home free: don't TOUCH a ciggie. (not don't smoke...just don't touch!)

If it helps, imagine you're all hooked up with MR. RIGHT out there in sunny CA, and surrendering THIS to him. (If it was me, you'd bet I'd be demanding it! Besides the fact that it gives a slave ashtray-mouth, I've got a touch of asthma, so I literally can't stand the smoke).

Whatever mind tricks it takes, go for it. Geez, these days even Phillip Morris wants you to quit! Have you ever checked out their oh so helpful new commercials?

(Not to worry, PM stockholders. PM isn't showing them to the billion or so Chinese they've discovered. That's just an AWESOME market, without those obnoxious American Cancer Society types).

Best wishes - really and truly

Status: offline 		Thanks everyone - I can add four more days making it through one really hard day when I wanted a cigarette so badly I could tase it.

I am not buying any. I have not bought any. I don't know about the 21 days - I hope it is true because I still want to smoke, I am just not doing it.

Thanks bunches -

Think knowing if i stopped and that cane would hit me would be a better incentive...

Maybe a flogger as a reward *grins*

Best of luck newflowers!
